CV (Feb 2026)
I am the Acting Chief Economist for Latin America and the Caribbaean and Manager of the Poverty Global Practice in the Latin America and the Caribbean Region at the World Bank, where I oversee work on poverty reduction, inequality, jobs, productivity, inclusive growth, and statistical modernization. I am also a Research Fellow at the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA).
My work is grounded in public and labor economics, with a focus on jobs, productivity, human capital, shocks, and the welfare effects of economic reforms. My research has been recognized with the 2024 IZA Award on Innovative Research in the Economics of Climate Change (IRECC) and the 2018 National Award in Public Finance from the Mexico's Congressional Budget Office of Mexico.
